Rendezvous with Death Page #2

---

for his burial.

That's why he's still

holding his last breath.

Really?

Xinsuan, we don't want to kill you,

we just want the box.

Open it.

We'll split the contents with you.

Consider this as our favor for you

Or else, this would have been your grave.

So obnoxious! Who are you lot?

Jin Ju, Poison Scholar.

Shen San, the Black Lunatic.

Liu Ergu, who comes and goes suddenly.

Big names,

but I've never heard of you.

And my job is to deliver it.

I have no right to open the box.

I assume that there isn't anything

precious inside this box.

Who will believe you?

Your reward is so high,

I'm sure it's worth a fortune.

Old lady,

it's up to you to believe it or not.

Stop.

Ergu, the beggar is here, let's go!

Let's go.

Oh no! You're dying so young.

This is really sad.

You're hit with the poisonous needles!

Those are very powerful.

Get up.

I've the antidote, come take it.

I beg you.

Don't beg me, you're not worth saving.

I'll just wait

till the poison kills you slowly,

and then I'll deliver the box to Xian,

claim the reward

and enjoy it all to myself.

So? You have a problem with that?

Get up and kill me then.

Xinsuan,

I really wanted to be your friend,

but you pushed me away.

Now you know, you're about to die,

and you know my importance.

Very well, I'll save you this time.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

I may look like a butcher,

but it doesn't mean I'm not kind.

Lucky you!

Where are you... brother?

Right here.

I haven't slept in a coffin before,

just trying it out.

But it wasn't such a good idea.

Very spooky, not enjoyable.

Agreed. Stay away from it.

Or you'll have bad luck.

Yet you slept in it!

Xinsuan, how's your leg?

Much better now.

Great.

The poison is very powerful,

but your antidote worked like a charm.

Thank you.

If my assumption is correct,

you must be Yang Feng,

the Head of Beggars Clan.

Bingo!

Brother Yang, I don't get it.

Why did you help me and save me?

Xinsuan, you know why.

People look down on us beggars.

It is really terrible.

We beggars should have some aspiration.

We shouldn't eat food

that's handed out in contempt.

I heard about Prince Yan is hiring.

I really want to try out.

You came out in the middle of nowhere,

and killed the Four Killers.

I didn't stand a chance.

Then, why did you

follow me on the way?

After I help you to get the job done,

I hope you will give me a share.

So that we can have better days.

Don't worry, half of my reward is yours.

Why are you tying the knots?

One knot, one dead person.

The Four Killers.

The Poison Scholar.

As for the nobodies, they're not counted.

I don't know how many will die

on the way to Xian,

and neither am I sure

if the two of us can make it.

Don't worry, I'm very tough, I won't die.

I am concerned nevertheless.

No one knows what will happen later.

Qionghua Hall is full of pretty women

in all sizes,

it lives up to its reputation.

Miss Sisi, I'm infatuated with you.

I don't want to go home to my life.

Master Gu, did you mean that?

Do you mean it?

Come here.

Only a monk could resist this.

No... even an old monk

can't resist in this kind of environment.

I haven't enjoyed any of this

for three months, what an endurance.

I'm suffering more, I'm starving.

Let's go and get something to eat.

I'm full already.

Alright, I'm getting off.

Please wait.

Are you Xinsuan?

That's right. What can I do for you?

I'm Tao Jian, this is my brother Tao You.

Prince Yan's ordered us

to protect you in the dark.

I don't care if you're protecting me,

or the box.

I won't share my reward with you.

Don't worry, we get paid separately.

What happened?

Tell me.

Prince has instructed that

you should meet him

at the abandoned garden

of Xue Residence,

he'll be waiting for you.

Abandoned garden of Xue Residence.

How come the prince has arrived here

so quickly?

I'm not sure, goodbye.

How do I go there?

This way out, walk along

the main street till the end,

head east and walk into the alley.

And you will see it.

Go soon.

Brother Yang, have a drink

in the inn and wait there.

I'll be back after I complete the errand.

Come back soon!

I don't have any money with me.

I don't have any money with me.

Come back soon!

Carrying a hulu and green bamboo crane.

Walks like a duck and goose.

The person has hidden wealth,

fame and fortune

in the generations to come.

You aren't talking about me, right?

I'm talking about you, what's your name?

Nameless.

Right, and how old...

Thirty eight.

Correct again, come...

Miss Ruohua, he's your benefactor,

hurry and invite him inside.

Please...

Let me be clear, I have no money.

Don't worry, come...

Come on.

Please go in.

Go on.

Come on.

Go in.

Nice.

Make yourself at home.

What's mine is yours.

And you can have me later.

In that case, I've turned into a pimp?

That's a terrible thing to say.

The fortuneteller Zhang said

I'll support you now,

and you'll support me in the future.

Why is that?

Because you're about to strike gold.

He said I'm destined to meet

my benefactor.

Smell it.

You stink.

Sorry, I haven't had a shower in months.

Stinks, right?

What are you doing?

The fortuneteller Zhang

must have forgotten to tell you.

How a woman should behave with virtues,

a woman has 72 cheap behaviors.

Look at you, you can't walk properly.

Your eyes show that you're promiscuous.

And the mole amidst your brow,

it means that you're destined

to be widowed,

your husband and son will die.

You!

Do you think

I'll fall for

a low class prostitute like you?

What are you doing?

If I guess right,

you have a mole on your belly button.

With the mole among your brow,

and the mole on your belly button,

it means that you're a woman of lust.

Just as I expected.

I've no time to play with you.

Who's behind this?

I don't know.

Speak up.

I don't know, I honestly don't know.

It's me.

The fortuneteller Zhang.

That's right, it's me.

Who's that? Stand still.

Human or ghost?

Human, of course.

I've been expecting you.

Actually, it's not

Prince Yan who invited you.

I walked into a trap.

Say what you have to say and leave.

You think this is funny?

I haven't had a taste of a woman

in three months.

At this time and place,

with the two of us alone, I wouldn't care.

Human or ghost, I don't mind.

You're the one who is

in an unfavorable position.

Scared? Just leave.

You're forcing me to do that.

Master Xin, I don't think

you're that kind of a man.

As long as you promise

you won't send the box to Xian,

I'm willing to sleep with you.

What?

I could also pay you one hundred thousand.

If you agree to it,

I can recommend you to be an official.

This is my lucky day!

Money, status,

and a wife!

Lady, you're making a big sacrifice.

What's in the box

must have something to do with it.

Yes, I can't tell you the details.

Many would die

if the box is delivered to Xian.

Fine if you don't want to tell me.

I'm no material to be an official.
